Sound in ear - #19682

Dear Ashit,

Your symptoms suggest Tinnitus (Karnanada) due to Vata imbalance, which can be aggravated by stress, lack of sleep, and nervous system weakness. The fear and anxiety you experience in the morning indicate an overactive mind and excess Vata energy. Here’s an Ayurvedic approach to help you:

Start on 1. Ashwagandha churna 2. ⁠Vatari churna 1/2 tsp each before meals with lukewarm water twice daily Practice pranayama Do meditation Hear some soft music

Hello Ashit, greetings! To understand your condition better, it would be helpful to know more about your symptoms. Have you experienced any hearing loss, dizziness, or headaches along with the noise? Is the sound more like ringing, buzzing, or pulsating? Do you have any history of ear infections, trauma, or exposure to loud noise? Have you been under stress, anxiety, or depression recently? Are there any other health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, or thyroid problems? It’s also important to know if you are on any medications or have experienced similar symptoms before. Understanding these factors will help in providing a more accurate assessment and appropriate guidance.

Ah, that sounds worrying. I can imagine how troubling that noise must be! In Ayurveda, noises in the ear or head often link to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which is tied to wind and movement in the body. It can make your mind restless too, especially impacting your sleep.

First, let’s try some straightforward things that may calm the Vata. You could start with a simple warm oil massage, like sesame or almond oil, around the ears and neck. This can be done in the evening to calm your mind before sleep. Just heat the oil slightly and gently massage for about 10 minutes.

Your diet might also need a bit of tweaking. Aim for warm, cooked foods that are grounding—soups, stews or porridge. Avoid too much raw, cold or spicy food, as they can aggravate Vata. Have meals at regular times; consistency here is key. Oh, and avoid caffeine in the evening. That stuff keeps anyone up!

In addition, try some light activities like yoga or meditation, especially in the morning and before bed. Breathing deeply through your nose for a few minutes can help soothe the nervous system and quiet the mind.

It’s also good to check with your doctor to exclude any underlying issues, like tinnitus or other ear problems, that might need a different approach. You wanna rule out any serious stuff first, right?

Remember, small and steady changes can lead to significant improvements. Stick with them for a few weeks and see how you feel. If things are still rough, and you’re still hearing that annoying sound, maybe reach out to a practitioner nearby. They could dig a little deeper into your prakriti—really, just be gentle on yourself meanwhile. 😊
